Waiting

waiting...
for a delivering grace
my soul suffering sorrow
eager to see freedom's face
-
will i recognize it when it appears?
-
captive...
yearning for escape
my mind imprisoned
desperate to leave this tortured existence
-
will i accept deliverance?
-
wondering...
if salvation wears a disguise
that perhaps darkness is light
and the grave is life
-
can i embrace shadows and death?
-
hoping...
that all misery erased
in a far-off unimaginable haven
where, my soul will at last find peace
-
can i dream such a dream?
-
waiting...
for a god that never comes
